Berkshire / SL1–SL3
Specialist tax accountants for Slough landlords.
From a one-bed off Wexham Road to a Heathrow-worker HMO portfolio in Chalvey, we work only with property landlords across Slough and the wider Thames Valley. Higher yields, tighter licensing, and a council that means it on standards.
Slough, by the numbers.

No. 03 / Common questions
What Slough landlords ask before booking.
Slough Borough Council operates selective licensing in defined wards including Chalvey, Central and Britwell, with five-year licence fees and minimum standards. The licence fee itself is a deductible expense against rental income. Works carried out to meet the conditions split between revenue (deductible against rent) and capital (added to base cost for CGT). We classify each line correctly so you don’t overstate or miss legitimate deductions.
